Wishing well runs wet and dry
C          G6             Asus2
I wish for things I never had
Em                      Asus2         C         G6            Asus2
Surrounds and wells up in my eyes the screaming voice, it lies
Em                 Asus2
Wishing well get's someones' attention
C     G6            Asus2
Every wish you ever had
Em                         Asus2
In a day of nights, in the darkest of light
C        G6     Asus2
Sits and cries, watch the lies

Wishing Well

Em       G6          Asus2
Ohh, Wishing Well

(The rest of the verse and chorus is the same)

Deepest light, the secret lies
Wishing well gives you all that you desire
Homes and trains, and the greenest of plains
That you ever happened upon
The silent wish, it calls you out
Calls you out by name
Lays upon the plain, on the mountain high
city lights, wish delights

What if the waters and wishes appear?
Will the price be no object?
I wish for dreams of light I live for wishing well suprise

     Wish again, four times again Four wishes deep into the well

There's a price you pay for a wish to come true
Trade a small piece of your life
Roots the soil, uprooting the soil
Mountain high, the mountains high
The wish is only to speak a kind
Kind of word, so benign absurd
The well, three wishes run dry
Wishing well is dry
When no grass grows, the weeds run in line
Wish three wishes, three wishes run dry
Four wishes deep into the well

Good luck, and look forward to input on correctness of whats here.
